Energy???

I have low energy, I had try everything but not much seem to help. I was diagnosed with ADD and I am now on med (Adderall XR), it help a little bit but not for long. I don't want to depend on this medication all my life, so far it work but not for long and will it work in the long run? I had try few Herbal remedies but so far it didn't work for me. My goal is to gain back my energy without the help on prescribe medications or at lest little has possible. Any of you have ADD and know about a Herbal medication or anything that can help? Or you know anything that may help to have energy? Thanks to anyone who can help!

Try Taking A Mulitivitamn Loaded With B-12. B-12 Is For Energy And You Can Get It In A Herbal Vitamin Form. I Had Low Energy And I Started Taking It Once A Day. Let Me Tell Yiou After About A Week Or Two I Noticed A Huge Change. And They Are No Addictive. It Is Called Once A Day For Women With B-12. Go To GNC Or A Store Simular Maybe Even Walmart. I Know GNC And Walmart Are Loaded With Various Types Of Herbal Vitamans. Read The Lables And Just Find One Loaded With The B-12. Cant Hurt To Try.

Hope This Helps.

Hope You get this information. I have MS. I have a really good source for energy. It is fresh Bee Pollen. You cannot get it at GNC. It is fresh requiring refrigeration. I purchase it at a local health food store. If you cannot find it in your area maybe you could e-mail me direct. Good Luck

You say you feel tired and take medicine (Adderall XR)
but I think if you are going for meditation or yoga
it may help you in a better way. Because there is various
side effects in medicine and I am always against for
taking medicine in my idea it will be good for you..........

Smith,
My reply is to not take Adderall at all -- why take meds??? Doc's prescribe it quickly and without hesitation; and it puts money into whoever is selling the medicine. Meds hardly ever SOLVE problems; they might soften some of the effects of your condition -- however, as all of us know by watching TV commercials, there are TONS of side effects. A sound body and mind will help anybody overcome whatever ails them.

What NOT to do to increase energy

Do NOT take iron unless your doctor has told you need it for anemia. It can cause lots of side effects and you don't need to take it if you are not anemic or iron deficient.

In addition, I would recommend that you not take bee pollen unless you get it locally, otherwise you won't get the anti-allergy effects that might be contributing to your fatigue.

I would also suggest you get a workup by your family doctor to make sure this low energy level isn't coming from an underlying medical condition such as hyper or hypo thyroid disease, diabetes, chronic fatigue, or other illnesses which cause low energy levels.

I am a nurse, so this message is not intended to diagnose or treat your problem. I am simply trying to make some suggestions as I would in the doctor's office to help you get to the root of the problem instead of guessing and spending a lot of money with trial and error. Good LUCK!

Hi THere!
I have Fatigue Problems as well, but associated with Suboxone Therapy, but Fatigue is Fatigue, I have found that l-Tyrosine has helped me immensely, I get it online at amazon but your local health food store shold have it...I use l-Tyrosine PLUS, it has additional B-6 and Vit C in it...I also use (but dont recommend it) 5-hour Energy 2-3 times a week, it REALLY helps but I dont think its very good for ya (over 3000% of your daily dose of B-12, YIKES!)...but sometimes I just dont care, I NEED to get out of that slump and just do it....And of course you know the old adage "A body at rest, tends to STAY at Rest"? Well, its a FACT!!!! Try to get out and exercise a bit, even if its just a brisk walk...Try your best not to "Veg", get out in the Sunshine and do something, anything!
Hope this Helps!

Yes i agree with you, this is the best option one can go for, to increase energy levels and have no side effects.
